RE: gas station stuff - 3/29/2007 2:03:48 PM    L C   Posts: 1558 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: offline That is an outstanding Gas & Oil Memorabilia! I know without doubt, you Pop has put a lot of years into the making of it. Have a lot of it myself, but no where near that many mint cans. My computer blew up on me a few days ago, I am on an old computer at present, and it will not recognize my camera for some reason now, so I am unable to show any of what I have. Will do so later once I get the other computer fixed or get a new one. (in reply to DiggerBryan) Post #: 47

RE: gas station stuff - 3/29/2007 2:24:22 PM    L C   Posts: 1558 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: offline I tried to scan a small Tower Oil Bank out of Cincinnati I came across the other day. Will not try that again. Not worth the effort. Here it is though.Tower Oil is quite hard to come by in this area. Picture showing front and back of bank. I have been thinking of having an auction and selling out a lot of stuff, Oil Memorabilia and many other things I have collected over the years that is cramping my garage space, and go back to collecting just the old bottles.

This is what a housefire can do to 30yrs. of collecting POOF. These are the ones the junk man missed. Goodyear Balloon is the the really cooked one. Good thing all that stuff used to be free. Ya don't here the words "Ya you can have that OLD junk just haul it off." anymore. Ah the days of my youth,however misspent they were. Attachment (1) (in reply to DiggerBryan) Post #: 51

Status: online This one was at my Grandfather station in the 1930s' on the hiway to Charleston. It's dated 1933. It survived the fire by being to big and poor of shape to be in the house. Now it was in great shape till the early 60s' when my older cousins thought it would make a great target. Remember when these where junk?

Never enough can be said about it. It looks to me though that the Standard sign in the picture above would be worth while salvaging. (in reply to OsiaBoyce) Post #: 54

Every time I see one, I think I have to have another one, but has not happened yet. I am also impressed with your luck in surviving those accidents as well ! < Message edited by L C -- 7/10/2007 4:33:39 PM > (in reply to OsiaBoyce) Post #: 59

RE: gas station stuff - 7/10/2007 4:47:10 PM    L C   Posts: 1558 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: offline This is a nice display, the newspaper really caught my eye. This is a nice display. I can not think what it is called, but I had the printing plate??, used to print the front page of one of the Cincinnati papers dated De. 8th, 1941.  It was made of aluminum I believe with embossed print in reverse of course. The headline was - CONGRESS DECLARES WAS, WOMAN DECLARES LONE NO VOTE . I wonder who the Woman was, and where she was from?? Anyone know ???. It showed maps also as to what islands the Japanese held and of course the tragic info as to the men lost on our ships and so  on. I more or less gave it away at the Springfield Antique Show. I had given forty five for it and sold it for fifty five. After the show I got to thinking about that plate, and wished I had contacted the paper in Cincinnati to see if they would have like to have had it. I thought it was a great piece of history, and was most likely worth much more than what I sold it for. (in reply to OsiaBoyce) Post #: 60
